After the performance, they are broadcasting Mahler's piano roll of the finale of the 4th.

Great. Then they can listen to how wrong they usually are with the tempi in the fourth movement; especially the stanzas following the final orchestral outburst ("kein musik ist ja nicht auf erde", etc.) - unless, of course, they actually paid attention to Mahler's own tempi; not to mention Bruno Walter's (who obviously copied Mahler).
